Hi again, this short little thing is going to be a short email on places to buy DRM Free EBooks. Because Amazon has taken away the ability for people to...
And when you sail the high seas to liberate books. You might get the actually book, without issues. You might get a file named your book, that has 17 pages of that book and then the rest is a manual to fix a car.
Me too brother. For some reason There’s a lot of american classics that don’t have a good scan on archive (totally forgot about project gutenberg) but Anna has served so well
Plus I actually want to support the authors. My issue is with Amazon not the authors, so I want to pay for the books I’m reading so they can keep making more of them. If I could buy the books directly from the authors in some cases I would, and in all cases if it was available from the Kobo store I’d be willing to buy it there. Unfortunately that damn exclusivity clause on Kindle Unlimited means my options for them are Amazon, Amazon, or Amazon (or roll the dice on piracy and not support the author, not to mention even when it is the book in question the quality is often poor).
In some cases very, but in others not so much. Some of them have Patreon accounts or other ways to accept payment, but in many cases you’ll be doing good just to find a working email address for them. Ideally though I’d prefer to just pay for the books outright rather than trying to do some kind of grey area thing where I’d pirate the book and then donate the cost to them (if for no other reason than it causes tax headaches for everyone involved).
This has been my issue as well.

There’s an archive of books belonging to a certain anna, which has not failed me yet.

I wonder how feasible it would be to just donate to your favorite authors
